Mighttpd

Mighttpd2 (called mighty) is a simple but practical HTTP server written in Haskell. It handles static files and CGI scripts. It also provides a feature of reverse proxy and URL rewriting with HTTP redirect.

Mighttpd2 is now implemented as a WAI application using the high-performance HTTP engine, "warp". To httperf Ping-Pong benchmark, the performance of Mighttpd2 is similar to that of nginx.

This domain "Mew.org" is provided with Mighttpd2. Here are some demonstrations:

• Redirection and language negotiation
  • http://www.mew.org/~kazu/proj/firemacs ->

• CGI: search(GET), Mailman(POST)
• Index of files in a directory should be statically created by the "mkindex" command.
